The species Thinodromus (s. str.) socius (Bernhauer, 1904) belongs to the taxonomically complex Thinodromus lunatus species group, widespread in the Oriental Region. The article describes a new subspecies Thinodromus (s. str.) socius taichungensis ssp. n. from Taiwan and the Japanese island of Honshu. The new subspecies has an identical aedeagus structure with the nominative subspecies Thinodromus (s. str.) socius socius (Bernhauer, 1904), which is widespread in Central Vietnam and South China. However, it is well distinguished by a considerably finer and more dense puncturation of pronotum and elytra.
